Sting Like A Bee 5K! -Bakersfield

Event Description

The world recently lost an incredible man, Muhammad Ali. In his honor, and in respect to his courageous battle with Parkinson’s Disease, we are hosting a STING LIKE A BEE 5K to help KNOCKOUT PARKINSONS! (inspired by his famous quote: Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. You’ll see a butterfly and a bee on the medal).
This is a virtual race, so you can participate from anywhere in the world and we will ship your medal directly to you. We will also be donating at least 20% of each registration to the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center. “The center’s staff is committed to providing excellence in diagnosis, treatment, research, and education for people with Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders.”
